THE CANADIAN CONSPIRACY.

The incisvc letter from prominent Demo
crat published in The TRIBUNEa week ago has
excited considerable passion in Canada. Nearly
all the leading journals across the border have
bitterly assailcd cXSccretary Mannngs admir-
ing ricndand COM cmptuOusy denied the counts
in the indictment for conspiracy against Amer
Gan industries and interests "a maniacal
howIn Is the phrase used by leading Montreal
ournalas "A safcty-valvc for its explosive indlg-
nation; and the language Of other journals Is
equally abusive. One Of the comical features
Of the controversy is the fact that the corIc-
spondcnt in describing the Canadian Pacific as
"a dcvil-fsh Of a political railroad " has not
exceeded in bitterness the structures OF large
portion of the Dominion press. Sir John Mac
donaIds opponents have not lnircquently dc-
nounccd that corporation as political enter
prIso in the Canadian wilderness dependent
wholly upon Government subsidies and upon
traffic to be begged, borrowed or stolen from
American lines.
More amusing than the angry assaults OF our
Canadian ncighbors are the dcfcnccs set up by
argumcntative Free Traders in America. OF
these We have noticed as many AZ three IN
prominent journals. First, the outspokcn adj

ager or a fool As neither Of these descriptions
happens to fit our correspondent. we pass to the
second defence. namely that the Treasury De
partmcnt has not acted Illegally in bonding the
Canadian Pacific or any corporation controlled
by it, since, although Article xxx Of the Treaty
Of Washington was abrogatcd by Congress,
there was a prc-cXlstlng statute comforting

CONpEINORY IION.

Among the subjects which came up for con-
sidcration at the recent convention Of practical
educators at Rochester were the compulsory cdu-
cation laws Of this state. The main law passed
IN 1874 has by no means met the cApcctat ions
Of It's friends. They find that 1t has accom-
plishcd little or nothing, and to-day is pract-
c;illy dead. The Superintendent OF Public In
structon in his last annual report writes " 1t
may as welt be said not only that the compul
sorry education act has not been cNcctual but
that it is altogether doubtful it, IN lis present
shape, it il capable Of being made So.' The
Superintendent then mentions two causes that
operate against it's efficiency School trustees
elected to supervise the schools and serving
without compensation naturally object to being
turned into constahics and police officers for the
purpose Of experimenting delinquent children or
the children Of delinquent parents. Moreover,
the schools are full" Another consideration
urged against the measure by those familiar
with it, operation is its failure to provide the
children that are 10 be- brought into the schools
with food and clothing. II says that they shall
be educated. but ncglcctS 10 do more.
Nevertheless the educators that met at Roch-
ester adopted the following resolution:
That the existing laws On compulsory education

This is not quite clear. How does it happen

CARDINAL GIBBONS POSITION.
He authorizes a Statement OF His Con-
nectiOn with the McGlynn Case.

BALTIMORE, MD, Sept. 10.
Cardinal Gibbons authorizes the following
statement in reference to his connection
with the McGlynn case: Shortly after his
arrival in Rome in February last, Cardinal
Gibbons, in an audience with the Holy
Father, was requested by his holiness to ask
DIR. McGlynn to come to Rome The next
day the cardinal complied with the instruc-
tions of the Holy Father. but as he did not
know DR.. McGlynn's address, he wrote the
letter to DR.. Burtsell, because he regarded
him friend of DR.. McGlynn. Some weeks
after Cardinal Gibbons received a letter from
DR.. Burtsell giving reasons and excuses why
DIR. McGlynn did not go to Rome. As the
answer from DR.. Burtsell was addressed, not
to Cardinal Simeoni, but to Cardinal Gibbons
himself the latter saw no reason for handing
the letter to the Propaganda. 1t may be
added that Cardinal Gibbons was in no way
authorized to act as the Intermediary be-
tween Dr. McGlynn and his archbishop and.
therefore, scrupulously avoided interfering
in matter in which he had no direct concern
and his visit to Rome had in view a different
purpose. While the cardinal, in common
with the prelates of the country,
was anxious in the interests of education and
religion to see university established in the
country, he has abstsined from giving his
vote in favor of any particular locality. The
cardinal has no knowledge of any change
conte mplated or effected in the original en-
dOwment.

MAINE DISPATCHES.
MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
vi Former BiddefOrd Man who has
Been Residing in CalifOrnia-A Sus.
piciOn that he has Been Murdered.

PORTLAND, Sept. 10.
The fri ends of Albert Ross, formerly a
well known Biddeford resident, have been
informed that he is missing from his home
in California, where he has resided for the
past two years, and that it is feared he has
been foully dealt with.
The facts are related to his friends in
employed as overseer in mine and later To-
Gated claim of his own on what seems to
have been disputed territory. A woman To-
Gated claim near to Ross but was driven
from it by the persons who claimed priority
of location. Ross claim was also disputed,
but he was not man to be frightened and
driven from what he believed a rightful
claim, and so he remained and built a cabin
on it.
One morning his cabin was found deserted
and there was evidence that Ross departure
from it must have been hasty one, as
partly prepared meal was found on his stove
and dishes set upon the table. A gathering
of the miners in the vicinity was held At
hOsS CdUli hnu IL WAS resolved 10 lnVesLl-
gate. An old miner said that a few days be-
fore, Ross showed h I'M letter he had re-
ceived, advising him to quit or he would get
something he would not get rid of. He said
to Ross when he handed back the letter:
Gal, know that handwriting" $50 do l."
replied Ross.
On the strength of this information, Judge
Lynch issued a warrant for the arrest of the
suspected man and he was at once taken be-
fore his honor, The prisoner was very bad
ly frightened, but said he knew nothing about
Ross disappearance, and he was after time
released.
Mr.. Ross has many friends in this State
and elsewhere, and strong effort will - be
made to solve the mystery of his disappear
ance His Bddeford friends have written to
California for all obtainabe particulars of
the affair.

A BUSY PLACE.
What Business is Being Done in Oakland
this Fall.

OAKLAND. Sept 10.
The Somerset Railway is at this time one
OF the busiest corporations to be found in this
part OF the country. A large repair shop,
l50x40 is being erected here, also black
smith shop 40x30, and several smaller build
ings for storing supplies. 1t is the determi-
nation of the company to do their own repair
ing, and as Dearly all such work will soon be
done here, Oakland will be materially bene-
fitted thereby.
But the erection of these buildings is a
small part of the work being accomplished.
A branch line is being laid to the Dodlin
Granite CO. cutting sheds, distance of one
mile, elevation 80 feet. The grading will be
finished today. This branch is jointly con.
structed by the S. R. and the Granite Co.,
and will cost $4,000. Trains are expected to
run over this branch by Sept. 18th.
